Ephesians | Chapter 1 | The Gift Of Grace
In the letter to the Ephesians, one of Paul’s purposes is to help the readers understand the huge implications of grace. You are saved by grace, not by works, but then, what are you saved for? In this first message, we are unpacking two big words: election and inheritance, and see how they relate to the purpose of our salvation.
Called to Come & Called to Go
In this message, we see in the stories of the prodigal son and the Ethiopian eunuch, God’s two-fold calling: to come to Him first because He is our loving Father, then to go out and preach Jesus as Philip did.
What does it mean to walk in His unconditional and steadfast love on a daily basis?
We often talk about the importance of God’s love, but what does it mean to walk
in His unconditional and steadfast love on a daily basis? This sermon looks to the
books of Jeremiah and Lamentations to uncover the character of God and his
undying love for His people. We see that this love is not a currency to be given or
withdrawn based on behavior or belief. God doesn’t use it that way. He doesn’t
use HIMSELF that way. Because God gave Himself fully, because Jesus died for
our sins, freely we have received love and freely we can give love without fear of
aligning ourselves with sin. We don’t need to have all of the answers before we
are allowed to love.
Jesus’ Love Satisfies Our Souls
Zechariah 3 – Jesus’ love satisfies our soul. Invite our neighbor to sit under our vine and fig tree
What’s in Your Hand?
What is it God gave you in your hands? This Sunday we looked at the story of Moses and the feeding of the multitude and what we can learn from what they did with what was in their hands.
Cultivating a Hunger for God | Part 1
The church of Ephesus received some pretty strong words from Jesus in Revelation 2; “you have abandoned the love you had at first”. What happened? And how can you and I make sure to (re)turn to that first love?
In this message, Koen teaches through the history of the church of Ephesus and talks about how we can build a culture of prayer in the church, building from the root of intimacy with Jesus.
